Amazing points for Parasites


Mackenzie Quack, a parabiologist at the National University of Singapore said

" When we build food webs and ecosystem networks, more than half of the connections between species are made up of parasites."

Parasites that seem so inconspicuous actually play a very important role.
Some parasites regulate and balance the host's immune system, and some remove harmful substances that have been taken into the body.Therefore, some argue that just as endangered species need protection, parasites such as roundworms, mites, lice, and leeches that infect all animals should also be protected.
